I'm just going to post this everywhere people are freaking out so hopefully everyone sees it.

In 2011 tickets sold out pretty fast (though not in a day) and everyone went nuts and paid hundreds over asking. Then, as the fest got closer prices slowly went down to the point where people were selling them for face value or in some cases even less.
And because everyone loves proof here are what coachella ticket prices on stubhub looked like last year. Note how they just keep getting lower and lower and eventually some people got tickets for less than face value.

I wouldn't worry about it. Every year there are a shit load of tickets to be had in May. The scalpers always price ridiculously high now, then get scared about footing the bill and dump the remaining tickets closer to the festival.
I doubt this year would be any different. I hope not because if I am going it won't be known until the end of April.

I think my biggest concern is the fact that they mail ticket holders this year the physical wristbands. How do we know when we start hunting the realm of Craigslist to get our fingers on the tasty little things they will be legit? Won't that be enough time to duplicate that shit, and make fake ones with fake chips, looking all fakey like?
Maybe I'm panicking too much and should just bank on the great chance someone will just sell because they can no longer go.

I think it would be way harder to make a fake wristband than make a fake ticket.

This is what I was wondering. It kind of makes me want to give up on the idea of going and move on. Maybe when you guys get your wrist bands, you should share the specifics, so people know what to looks for. There has to be some code or something on them to make them counterfeit proof.

As Davers said, it will be way harder to make fake wristbands than fake tickets. Stubhub, while evil, is mostly safe for buyers.

I've used StubHub nearly 100 times for sporting event tickets over the years. I have never had a problem.

I mean, their business practice is inherently evil but yeah, I've used 'em for sporting events too and they've been reliable. Just reliably evil.
